I don't even own a place right now. I'm literally staying at friends' places,” he was quoted as saying by the New York Post.
“If I travel to the Bay Area, which is where most of Tesla's engineering is, I basically rotate through friends' spare bedrooms,” the Tesla CEO added.
“I don't have a yacht, I don't take vacations,” he added. Musk was responding to a question about wealth disparity across the world and the amount of money spent by billionaires.
“I think there's axiomatic flaws that are leading to that conclusion. It would be very problematic if I would be consuming billions of dollars a year in personal consumption, but that is not the case,” said Musk.
"It's not as though my personal consumption is high, with the one exception being the plane. If I don't use the plane then I have less hours to work," he added.

That is the correct answer.
“Wealth” is nothing more than money you saved or invested instead of spending it on bling, Escalades and hoes.
Yep, taking a "vacation" would probably be a boring drag for him.
I have a spare bedroom Elon. Only $5,760,000 per night. Includes continental breakfast.
He had a threesome with Amber Heard and Cara Delevingne...

Nothing wrong with a little eccentricity. Makes him more interesting, and unpredictable.
That’s actually probably a smart move, although I really don’t believe it. Fly under the radar, especially in crazy libtard days like these.
And one of the Blockchain developers has also stated he can use that money to build a better decentralized competitor on his blockchain if he wants to. That would drive MASSIVE innovation to blockchain development.
Don't fall for the Leftist "zero-sum game" argument. Musk or anyone else having billions does not mean they took it away from poor people.
Today's American living below the poverty line is living like a millionaire did in the 1800s.
Sure, but there are lots of financially attractive investments out there for a multi-billionaire. He’s focusing on this one primarily to accomplish a political goal.
1. Co-invent new internet payment processing system
2. Create new car company
3. Build new space exploration and colonization platform
4. Create satellite-based internet platform
5. Save money by sleeping on friends’ couch
So he doesnt have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of?
The most successful African American I know.
My 3rd son (college freshman) is on the spectrum—the new catch phrase is “neurodivergent.” In high school he had a dismal 2.4 GPA but was and is a fabulous chess player, coder, and self-taught piano player. Gets As only in Computer Science classes (his major) because he won’t focus on anything he doesn’t care about. He’s quite…crazy.
